7.00pm Tenebrae Healey
Tenebrae means 'darkness' and as the readings and hymns progress, candles are extinguished, giving us the opportunity to ponder on the meaning of Christ's death.

Maundy Thursday – 28th March
On Maundy Thursday we receive into church the oils blessed in the Cathedral in the morning (oils used in baptism, confirmation and ministry to the sick). We share in the Last Supper, the washing of feet, and join with Jesus as we imagine ourselves with him in that last night in the Garden of Gethsemane.
7.00pm Commemoration of the Last Supper with foot washing and Watch ending with Compline at 9.00pm Masham

Good Friday – 29th March
Our thoughts turn to Jesus’ death. In the afternoon we spend me in reflection during the last hour of his life. The Good Friday evening Liturgy is a quiet and solemn service, placing us at the foot of the cross as we consider how, in our own world, our own lives, we continue to crucify him. We leave the church in silence and darkness.
2.00pm Last Hour at the Cross Masham and West Tanfield
7.00pm Good Friday Liturgy Masham
